The date is 1st March 2025
The first day of meteorological spring

The USA has become a puppet state, with no more self determination than Belarus

I had to unfollow him a while back (very upsetting for my teenage adulation)

He was posting nonsense about the movement to kick BNP out of E/SE London, as if it was all him, on his own.

I was actually there, along with hundreds of others, whom he dismissed. Eaten by ego 😢

Ouch! Sorry to hear this

Keeping back pain under control is my daily chore, and I pay when I neglect my exercises

This sounds like a job for cat stretch, thread the needle & spiky ball.

The suit is against the chicken farms

"the leading chicken producers Avara Foods Ltd and Freemans of Newent Ltd, alleging they are responsible for “extensive and widespread pollution” in the Wye, Lugg and Usk."

TBF it's hard to tell where the products come from, cos they are listed mostly under the supermarket brand, not the producer (I just checked Tesco), so one would have to use a local butcher or similar to be sure

Ath3na_G 🇺🇦 📎 @ath3na.bsky.social · 1d

I didn't say boycott the supermarket, just the chicken. Sorted. 😀

The other company named is Freeman's of Newent, a subsidiary of Avara, so the same outlets apply

Ath3na_G 🇺🇦 📎 @ath3na.bsky.social · 1d

I'm vegetarian, but chicken & turkey eaters could consider boycotting these companies

Avara foods are ubiquitous, but here's a starting point

Supermarkets:
Tesco
Asda
Lidl
Sainsbury's
Morrisons

Restaurants:
McDonald's
KFC
Nando's

It seems that whilst Dolly is unwell, the danger is not imminent

I hope she saw how the world reacted & knows how much people care. It's so good to tell people while they are around to hear it.

My tahini slick was probably messier to clean up but less expensive, just.

I'm about to book & pay for flu & COVID privately. I did this in the spring also

As a self employed person, illness is costly & I don't want long COVID thanks

Happily the pharmacy don't make dumb comments.

I'd agree with this review, you have to give it a little time, but then it's gripping

Smoke review – no TV show has ever been worth sticking with more

Taron Egerton and Jurnee Smollett hit every ball out of the park in this smart, mesmerising crime drama about arson investigators. It’s hugely entertaining – if you can make it through the shaky start

www.theguardian.com

Ath3na_G 🇺🇦 📎 @ath3na.bsky.social · 2d

Apple TV (assumed you had this cos Ted Lasso)

It's about an arson investigator....but as it goes on , we find that most of the main characters are very badly flawed.

After reading the comments I know I dislike it already 😂

Did you watch Smoke? Now that was really good - dark & ironic, perfect TV.
